Hi everyone! My name is Nur Aleeya Najiha Binti Mohd Zaid, but you can call me Al. It is such a pleasure to work on this assignment with my partner, Anis. This assignment has been very interesting because I got to connect with people outside of Malaysia to complete it, and without their help, we could not have gotten it done.

I hope everyone who reads this Padlet will enjoy it, and I hope we provide a clear explanation of our research. Thank you so much, everyone!

Originally, Spanish was the predominant language in the area, as Nevada was once part of the Spanish Empire and later Mexico. This changed in 1848 when it became a U.S. territory after the Mexican-American War. Following Nevada's statehood in 1864, English became the main language, though Spanish continued to be spoken within communities of Mexican heritage.

Like in other American cities, English in Las Vegas is influenced by a variety of cultural backgrounds. Due in great part to the entertainment and gambling sectors, which brought in English-speaking employees from around the nation, Las Vegas had a notable increase in population during the 20th century.

Nowadays, according to statistics from the Migration Policy Institute, English is the most widely used language in Nevada, with only a small percentage of people speaking languages other than English. Since Las Vegas is in Nevada, this is largely accurate

My name is Anisfatihah Balqis Binti Ahmad Fuad, and I am from the LG243 course. Currently, I am in my second semester, and this is my first time studying Global Englishes. I'm thrilled to work with Aleeya on this assessment. In this Padlet, I will be analyzing the linguistic variations among Australian people. I hope you enjoy exploring and gaining new insights into the diverse ways language is used in Australia.

Definition: Phonemic variation is the difference between sounds (phonemes) are made in different accents or area. These differences can affect how certain sounds in words are pronounced or how speech flows as a whole.

Example in context:

The word "rain" might be pronounced with more clearer vowel sound by people who speak Australian English. For example, /raɪn/ ("ryne") or /reɪn/ with a slightly more fronted vowel sound compared to other English varieties.\

The word "tea" is another word that can have different sounds. For instance, /tiː/ ("tee") with a softer "t" sound and not as crisp as in some other varieties of English.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitions: Prosodic variation is the variation in the intonation, pitch and rhythm. Rising intonation at the end of a sentence frequently occurs in Australian English even in non-questions. This might make a statement sound more conversational or easy.

Example in context:

"In this cozy moment, time seemed to pause?" The rising pitch at the end of "pause" in Australian English could seem less like a strong statement and more like a careful thinking or a question

The city's lights were so bright that they outshone places like Hong Kong and Japan, earning it the title of the brightest spot on Earth.

Definition: Grammatical variation refers to differences in sentence structure, word order or use of grammar.

Example in context:

"A warm cup of tea has got steam rising from it. For instance, " (Instead of "A warm cup of tea sat steaming") the use of "has got" make it sound more conversational.

Australians sometimes say "reckon" instead the word "think" especially when they are chatting with one another. For example, "I reckon the rain fell softly on the rooftop".

As of 2023, Perth is Australia’s fourth-largest city, with 2.2 million residents. It has grown rapidly due to people moving there for work and better opportunities. The city is home to a mix of Anglo-Celtic, Italian, Greek, and diverse Asian communities, including Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, and Filipino groups, enriching its culture with new traditions and festivals.

Perth has a young population, with most residents under 36, but it also has an increasing number of senior citizens. English is the main language, and Christianity is the most common religion, though there are also large Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu communities.

The city’s residents mostly live in well-developed suburbs, and Perth’s geographic isolation, bordered by the Indian Ocean and a vast desert, shapes its unique lifestyle and culture.

Definition: Phonemic variation refers to differences in how sounds (phonemes) are pronounced in different dialects, accents, or languages. Phonemic variation occurs when these sounds are articulated differently by speakers of different regions, social groups, or linguistic communities

Example in context:

The vowel sound in the word 'rain' (/reɪn/) may be pronounced a bit longer or drawn out. In the Southern U.S., people developed a more relaxed, slower pace of speech, which often results in vowels being pronounced longer.

The word roof is also got different pronunciation. The vowel in "roof" can vary significantly: some speakers may pronounce it as /ruːf/ (rhyming with "poof"), while others might say /rʊf/ (rhyming with "hoof").

Definitions: Prosodic variation refers to changes in the rhythm, pitch, stress, and intonation of speech. These elements help convey meaning, emotion, or emphasis in spoken language.

Example in context:

In American English, falling intonation is commonly used to signal calmness and completion. So, for lines like "The rain fell softly on the rooftop," American speakers might use a smooth, downward tone at the end of the sentence, reflecting the peaceful imagery.

Definition: Differences in sentence form and the arrangement of words to convey meaning are referred to as grammatical or syntactic variety, and they can be influenced by social group, dialect, or geographic location. This variance could affect things like verb usage, word order, or following certain grammatical norms.

Example in context:

By removing "The" and changing "softly" to "soft," which is typical in some American dialects, "The rain fell softly on the rooftop" might be condensed to "Rain fell soft on the rooftop," which has a more conversational, informal sound.

American also like rephrasing for informality, "Outside, the world blurred into a watercolor of grays and greens" could become "Outside, everything blurred together like a watercolor in shades of gray and green," using more descriptive language for informality.

Even before the English arrived, Perth was already a British settlement. With its origins in the Swan River Colony, the city came into being in 1829. After the British arrived, English quickly became by law language.

The English spoken by the locals in Perth evolved over time as they adopted regional slang and accents.

The English language remained solid thanks to immigrants from the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and other English-speaking countries. Subsequent waves of immigrants from Italy, Greece, and Asia brought fresh perspectives that transformed the culture.

Despite these shifts, English remains by law business and everyday language. Reason being, English has been influenced by Australian slang and native speech patterns.
